Long before Park City became a world class mountain resort and venue for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, it was famous as a silver mining town. In late October of 1868, soldiers climbed over the mountains from Big Cottonwood Canyon to the Park City area and found silver. As the snow was swirling and a storm brewing, they marked the outcropping with a bandanna on a stick and returned in the spring. Park City population approached 10,000 during 1898, then in 1951 it is included in a book called "Ghost Towns of the West" indicating nearly no population.
